There needs to be some balance between needs of society and individual. I don't claim to know the fine line of this balance, but that's how long-running successful societies work. Opposite side is dictatorship in some form - most common being some variant of communism regime that I had displeasure to live in for initial part of my life - its not a good system for 99% of the population.

This is generally highly controversial topic, people either align as per their left/right viewpoints, or their current situation and needs (homeowner/investor views it differently compared to somebody young looking wanting to buy accommodation and and being priced out of their favored location).
